§ 111. Mr. Joplingasked the Minister of Technology, if he will make a statement on the imports of agricultural tractors from the Common Market in 1967 and 1968.
§ Mr. FowlerImports of agricultural tractors from the Common Market in 1967 were £1,003,670 and for the first four months of 1968 £851,113. The high rate of imports in 1968 reflects the efforts of one E.E.C. manufacturer who is attempting to increase his share of the United Kingdom market. Otherwise imports from the Common Market have fallen during the period.
